The food here is really good. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they care about quality. Definitely the best spot in Benicia.

This place rocks! Been there many a time now and yet to be disappointed with anything other than the landscapers using blowers when we are outside dining!

Been coming here since High School! Love the vibe & the food. Much respect to the owners for taking care of their staff! Same staff since High School too & I love that they kept the waitress from the Fairfield location as well. Thank you Janet for a memorable visit to the bay area! Forgot to take a picture of the food before but we had steak fajita & a country skillet, both were amazing, coffee was full the entire time!

We've actually never sat down and eaten inside before but I can tell you we have ordered food from here A LOT because of how good it is. My wife and family are big fans of the club sandwiches and the many breakfast options.
I recently tried the onions and was thrilled with the crunch and taste.
The pricing was very reasonable (even with delivery) and often we have leftovers so 1 plate gives us 2 meals so definitely can't complain!
Benicia Grill – A Local Gem That Nails the Classics
Benicia Grill is the kind of hometown diner you hope to stumble upon when you're craving honest, hearty comfort food with no pretense. Nestled in a quiet corner of Benicia, this local favorite delivers exactly what you'd expect from a classic American grill—and then some.
The menu covers all the diner essentials, from fluffy pancakes and perfectly seasoned home fries to generously portioned omelets and crisp bacon that’s actually crispy. On a recent visit, I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs over medium—everything was cooked spot-on, and the hash had just the right balance of texture and flavor. My guest had the huevos rancheros and was equally impressed by the freshness of the salsa and the perfectly runny eggs.
Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the food came out quickly—even during a busy weekend brunch rush. The atmosphere is casual, family-friendly, and genuinely welcoming, with locals chatting over coffee and staff treating regulars like old friends.
If you’re in or near Benicia and in the mood for a classic breakfast or lunch in a no-fuss setting, Benicia Grill should be on your radar. It’s not trying to be trendy—it’s just doing the basics right, and doing them really well.
Tip: Come early on weekends—it gets busy, and for good reason.

Love it, great food. Just wish you were open for dinner. There isn’t anything like what you serve in Benicia.. At least til 6 pm.

Newly renovated booths make the dining experience as excellent as the family diner food.
